Digital Invitation Menu: What to Write for Your Wedding

Picture a guest on the 8:40 bus, phone in hand, opening the link to your wedding. They scroll past the date and the venue and stop at the food. If the menu isn't there, the question reaches the family group chat before lunch: so what are we eating? A digital invitation lets you answer that before it's asked. You pick a design from the catalogue, write the menu in and send the link the same day.

The menu is the first thing guests look for, ahead of the dress code and the map. Five honest lines inside the invitation kill two weeks of 'and what's for dinner?' messages before they start.

What to Write in the Wedding Menu of Your Digital Invitation

Name the real dishes and group them by moment. 'Slow-roast pork with Pedro Ximenez' says more than 'meat' and takes less space than explaining the sauce. Five lines cover it: aperitivo, starter, main, cake and the bar. Add a short tag in brackets next to the dish that needs one. No paragraphs justifying anything.

• Five lines, in order: aperitivo, starter, main, cake and the bar. If it gets longer, nobody reads it.
• Put the dishes down by name. 'Lemon and thyme roast chicken' beats 'poultry' every time.
• Three tags that avoid surprises: (gluten-free), (lactose-free), (vegetarian), right beside the plate they belong to.
• The time dinner is served, under the menu, so nobody plans a big lunch at four.

Allergies and Intolerances: One Line, One Contact, One Deadline

A reply form is good at counting people, not at catching a shellfish allergy. So write it into the menu scene: 'If you have any allergies or intolerances, email us at weddings@youremail before 10 May.' One channel, one date, in writing.

Spread that warning across phone calls, WhatsApp and your cousin, and someone ends up with a plate they can't touch. Keep the reply in one place and give the caterer a date you can actually work with. For the youngest guests, add a separate line: 'Children's menu for under-10s, same email.'

The menu isn't a detail you add at the end. It decides whether a guest eats well and whether you spend May answering messages.

Digital Invitations vs Paper Invitations: What the Menu Costs You

A digital invitation costs 29,99 EUR, once, with no subscription. The price doesn't change if the caterer swaps the main course in March: you edit one line from the browser and the link your guests already have shows the new version. No reprints, no second round of envelopes, no 'ignore the card I sent you' message.

If your grandmother wants something to hold, she can print her own copy. The invitation itself doesn't print or post anything. That's paper's job, and it's the part that gets expensive.

How to Create Your Digital Invitation Menu in One Afternoon

Pick a design from the collection and test the cover for free. When you buy for 29,99 EUR, one-off, every scene unlocks, and that's where the menu, the allergy line and the children's option go. Each text sits in its own field with a character counter and a live preview, so the menu doesn't break the layout or get cut off on a phone. Publish with a button and share the link, the QR or a message. Guests reply from the browser, with no app to install.

With the menu written in, half your guests' questions answer themselves before they're asked. Choose your design, try it free and publish your digital invitation for 29,99 EUR, one payment. Share a single link and update it whenever the catering changes its mind.
